French tip pro press-on nail extensions

Length without the damage

Pro press-on extensions are pre-shaped nail tips that are individually sized, prepped and bonded to your natural nail with a professional adhesive. Unlike drugstore press-ons, our pro press extensions are fitted by hand for a flush, seamless finish — and last 2–3 weeks of normal wear.

They're the perfect option when you want instant length and shape for a wedding, holiday, event or photoshoot — and they're kinder to the natural nail than acrylic, because we never drill or aggressively buff your nail bed before applying.

Pro press extensions — your questions

What are pro press-on nail extensions?
Pro press-ons are pre-shaped nail extensions that are individually sized, prepped and bonded to your natural nail with a professional adhesive. They give instant length and shape — and unlike DIY press-ons, they last 2 weeks or more.
How long do they last?
With proper aftercare, pro press extensions typically last 2–3 weeks. Ideal for events, weddings, holidays or anyone who wants instant length.
How much do nail extensions cost?
A fresh set of Pro Press Extensions is £35. Removal & reapplied is £40. Removal only is £15. Nail art & gems can be added at £2 per nail.
Are they damaging to natural nails?
No — when applied and removed professionally, pro press extensions are one of the kindest extension methods. We never drill or aggressively buff the natural nail, and removal uses gentle soak-off rather than ripping.
Can I have nail art on extensions?
Yes — any nail art, chrome, ombré or gem design can be applied to press-on extensions at £2 per nail.
What's the difference between press-ons and acrylic?
Acrylic is liquid-and-powder sculpted onto the nail and filed to shape — it can be heavy on the natural nail. Pro press-ons are pre-shaped tips bonded with adhesive, giving the same length with less weight and a gentler removal. We don't currently offer acrylic — pro press is our recommended extension method.
Where can I get nail extensions near Tonbridge?
We're based in Collier Street, Kent (TN12 9SB) — close to Tonbridge, Paddock Wood, Marden, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone.
